Babyback vs Spares. The winner is...

[davenh]

For me it's BB's over spares. A lot less fat and connective tissue. Too me they taste better. I have done plenty of both and hands down everyone has liked the BB's better. I just bought some at Sams Club for $2.99 lb, not a bad price.

I also find foiling is not necessary to get tender juicy BB's. 5hrs in the smoke @ 240 and they are perfect every time. I find spares kinda need the foil time to help breakdown the extra fat and tissue.

I also notice that folks, especially women, tend not to eat the fatty joint and most of the tip when eating full spares. BB's always have cleaned bones left behind

I like BB's, but spares are much more affordable where I live. Money talks.

I like both, but prefer spares. Wife much prefers BBs.

Guess which kind I have most often?

Spares!

I love having the skirts and tips to pull after 3 hrs., some go into a sammy for lunch and some go into a pan of dutch's beans

I am all about spares. I am a poor college kid, although I eat ten times better than anyone else I know. I'm going for bang for my buck. Plus I get a lot more meat. like JIRod said I then get to use left overs to make stuff with! YUM!

Bang for the buck is probably skewered country ribs...Hmmm...Meat on a steeek!
